Asus TA-M11 enough for 2 x GTX 260's SSC in SLI?

I'm planning on getting to EVGA GTX 260 SSC's (192 core version) to run in SLI. Will the Asus TA-M11 case be enough to cool these two cards? I won't be overclocking these card any further. I am also going to get a Q9550, and overclock it to 3Ghz. Will the case be able to handle this? The TA-M11 has a 120mm exhaust fan, on the side panel it has two 120mm exhaust fans (according to Asus, it's an SLI/Crossfire enabled case) that can cool both cards. I will be adding a front 120mm intake fan as well. Here's a more detailed spec:

Q9550 @ 2.9 < 3.0 GHhz
Two EVGA GTX 260 SSC's in SLI
XFX NF680i LT
Corsair TwinX (2x2GB) @ 800Mhz (stock)
High Power 800W
Asus TA-M11?

Thanks!

well according to what I found on that case, and the details you have given yes it should be just fine, assuming you also have enough space between the two cards (as they are dual slot) which would allow for enough airflow into the heatsinks. I really dont think you would have any real issues as long as those fans are pushing a decent amount of air, but I would also question whether or not you are going to be able to utilize this kind of power. These cards offer a lot of performance individually, so I would hope you will be using a panel offering at least 1920x1080/1920x1200 as anything lower really wont put a dent in what these cards can offer.

Also, I dont see any dimensions listed for the case. The cards themselves should fit fine, but make sure you do have the ~10.5 inches of clearance that you need for these cards. Sometimes you may have to relocate a hard drive or two in order to have enough space.
